Hypnotherapy for Eating Disorders in London
Hello, I’m Susannah. I am a fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist and coach with over 22 years of experience helping people change their relationship with food and their body.
I have been awarded the Senior Qualification of Hypnotherapy Practice (SQHP) from the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC), and the HPD from the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). If you’re looking for therapy for eating disorders or food-related challenges, I would be happy to talk through how I can help.
Eating disorders and disordered eating are about more than just food. They’re often linked to control, emotion, self-worth, and limiting beliefs around body image, which can be difficult to change with willpower alone.
Many of my clients have spent years stuck in cycles of restriction, bingeing, emotional eating, or obsessive thoughts about food and weight. These behaviours can become deeply ingrained in the subconscious mind and are often driven by fear, stress, or unmet emotional needs.
I have a specialist interest in disordered eating and have been supporting clients for over 22 years. Eating disorders are complex and varied, and finding a sustainable solution requires a holistic approach. This isn’t a quick fix, but with the right support, change is possible. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. After your initial consultation I will create a bespoke treatment plan, combining elements of hypnotherapy, NLP, coaching and psychotherapy.
If you would like to learn more about my eating disorder hypnotherapy programme, or book an appointment, get in touch.

NLP, Coaching and Hypnotherapy for Eating Disorders
When you’re stuck in a cycle with food, it can feel like it takes over your whole life. You might spend a lot of time thinking about what you’ve eaten, what you should eat, or how to regain control.
These behaviours are often linked to how you feel about yourself, your body, and your emotions. Many clients I work with describe an inner voice that’s critical, harsh or impossible to please. You might feel as though nothing you do is ever enough, and food becomes the one thing you can control… or the thing that controls you.
You might find yourself stuck in unhelpful thought patterns like “I’ve ruined it now,” or “I’ll start again tomorrow.” Or maybe you swing between being extremely strict and feeling completely out of control. These black-and-white thinking patterns can be exhausting, and often mask deeper feelings like shame, fear, loneliness, or low self-worth.
Hypnosis can be an effective therapy for eating disorders because it works at a subconscious level to rewire those unhelpful thoughts patterns. In our sessions, we’ll explore what role food is currently playing in your life – whether it’s offering comfort, distraction, structure, or control – and how we can begin to meet those needs in healthier ways.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to eating disorder hypnosis. I’ll create a personalised treatment plan based on your needs and your goals. While many clients start to notice improvements after a few sessions, eating disorders can be complex, and I often work with clients over 6-12 sessions.
Eating disorder hypnotherapy can help you:
- Feel calmer and more in control around food
- Reduce binge eating or emotional eating episodes
- Let go of rigid food rules and all-or-nothing thinking
- Rebuild trust in your body’s hunger and fullness cues
- Develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with your body
- Reduce obsessive food thoughts
- Break cycles of guilt and shame around eating
- Improve emotional resilience and self-worth
